Wind Farm Design
Optimised layouts, smarter technology choices, better
projects
Wind Farm Design is inherently complex. You’re rarely optimising for a single objective – almost always you’re juggling a wide range of metrics, from de-risking the development to maximising the yield, across a seemingly limitless number of variables: turbine selection, site capacity, setbacks and everything in between.
There’s never a single right answer, and Wind Farm Design can’t be automated or reduced to a single layout optimisation. It requires months – sometimes years – of diligent collaboration between technical experts and development managers to bring everything together into a bankable project. That’s exactly what our Wind Farm Design services are designed to support.
We are the only independent consultancy in the world that offers unlimited configurations with every assessment – meaning we don’t stop until you’re entirely satisfied you understand the full range of trade-offs in the design. Getting the design right early saves missteps and money throughout a project’s development.
LAYOUT OPTIMISATION
We generate dozens of configurations — not just one or two — using our software to explore trade-offs across different development uncertainties.
CAPACITY OPTIMISATION
Find the right balance between installed capacity and capacity factor for the best return on investment.
3D VISUALISATIONS
Realistic turbine placement maps for landowner discussions, planning submissions and community engagement.
TECHNOLOGY SELECTION
Turbine type, hub height, rotor diameter: we model the options and help you choose the right machine for your specific site conditions.
SENSITIVITY STUDIES
Wake effects, hub heights, curtailments, WTG variants – unlimited scenarios with our WindQuest platform.
RED FLAG ANALYSES
Early-stage desktop screening to identify showstoppers before any ground-level spend.
